Mre than 16 millin years ag in what is nw New Zealand, a giant bird died and sank t the bttm f a lake. Preserved (保存) in layers f sand and gray-blue clay, the bnes f this giant bird have been unearthed, revealing what is nw the largest parrt knwn t science.
Of the 350 parrt species alive tday, the heaviest is the kakap, a flightless bird als native t New Zealand. But the extinct parrt crushes the parrt’s recrd: Described frm tw fssilized (使……成化石) leg bnes, the bird wuld have weighed 15 punds and std rughly three feet tall.
Researchers unearthed the big bird fssils in 2008 at St Bathans, a frmer mining twn that sits n tp f an extinct (消亡的) lake. The site preserved rich fssil depsits (沉积物), including plants, crcdiles, bats, and dzens f bird species (物种). “Mst f the samples (样本) in the St Bathans fauna (动物群) — mre than 6,000 identifiable bird bnes — are quite small,” says study leader Trevr Wrthy, a palentlgist (古生物学家) at Flinders University in Australia.
That’s why the large leg bnes f this bird std ut. Fr the next 10 years, the bnes sat n a shelf with ther suppsed eagle bnes frm the St Bathans site, until a graduate student realized they were nt actually frm ancient eagles.
“It was cmpletely unexpected and quite unusual,” Wrthy says. “Once I had cnvinced (使信服) myself it was a parrt, then I bviusly had t cnvince the wrld.” Wrthy and his team cmpared the leg bnes t samples and nline images frm varius museums.
“Based n what they were able t shw here, it’s cnvincing,” says Alisn Byer, an eclgist at the University f Tennessee wh was nt invlved with the study.
The research team then estimated the size f the bird based n the leg bnes. But even if their estimate is nt perfect, this bird wuld have been extrardinarily large fr a parrt.
28. Which is similar in meaning t the underlined wrd “crushes” in paragraph 2?
A. Breaks.B. Crrects.C. Prves.D. Keeps.
29. What made the bnes unearthed in New Zealand special?
A. Their rare shape.B. Their large size.C. Their discverer.D. Their lng histry.
30. Why had the bnes remained unnticed fr 10 years?
A. They were t cmplex.B. They were regarded as useless.
C. They were usual eagle bnes.D. They were wrngly recgnized.
31. What can be inferred frm the last three paragraphs?
A. Wrthy wed his success t the help f museums.
B. Alisn Byer didn’t agree with Wrthy’s idea.
C. Wrthy’s cnclusin was very cnvincing.
D. Wrthy cllected pinins n the Internet.

When we are healthy, breathing happens naturally and easily. Withut much effrt n ur part, the human respiratry (呼吸的) system wrks hard. Experts say we take abut 20,000 breaths every day.
When yu breathe deeply, the air cming in thrugh yur nse fully fills yur lungs, and the lwer belly (腹部) rises. Deep breathing may slw the heartbeat, lwer bld pressure and lwer stress. Deep breaths help yur bdy fully exchange incming xygen (氧气) with utging carbn dixide (二氧化碳).
Hwever, many peple d the ppsite f deep breathing. They take shrt breaths and have shallw breathing. Experts call this “chest breathing”. Shallw breathing limits the expansin (扩张) f the diaphragm (隔膜) and its mvement. The lwest part f the lungs des nt get a full share f fresh air. This can make yu feel shrt f breath and wrried, r anxius.
Shallw breathing, ver time, leaves ld, unfresh air in the lungs. This leaves less rm fr the diaphragm t bring in fresh xygen. And that means lwer xygen levels and less xygen fr exercise and activity.
Several health websites explain an easy deep breathing exercise. Find a place t lie dwn. Place ne hand just belw yur ribs (肋骨). Take a slw, deep breath thrugh yur nse. Feel yur hand g up. Yur stmach shuld rise and expand. Nw breathe ut slwly thrugh yur muth. Make sure t breathe ut all the way. Feel yur hand and stmach g dwn.
If dne repeatedly, breathing exercises can help remve unfresh air frm the lungs. This will increase xygen levels and get the diaphragm t return t its jb f helping yu breathe. Deep breathing is a gd way t reduce stress and relax.
Shrtness f breath happens when yu are wrried, frightened, r are in pr physical shape. But it can als be a sign f health prblems.
32. Which is the disadvantage f chest breathing?
A. It expands the diaphragm.B. It causes the lungs t lack xygen.
C. It makes the lungs smaller.D. It stps fresh air entering the lungs.
33. What happens t yur hand placed just belw yur ribs when yu d breathing exercise?
A. It mves left and right.B. It mves unnticeably.
C. It mves up and dwn.D. It mves in ne directin.
34. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Deep breathing can imprve yur health.
B. Yu may breathe fast when yu are scared.
C. Shrtness f breath may happen at any time.
D. Yu must be ill when yu are shrt f breath.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Hw d the lungs wrk?B. Prtecting the lungs matters
C. What is chest breathing?D. Deep breathing helps the lungs
